This 39-minute talk from the Linnean Society explores the critical intersection between natural and cultural heritage conservation. Learn how bridging the gap between nature and culture can create more climate-resilient spaces, support biodiversity, enhance public understanding of environmental issues, and improve human wellbeing. Professor Heather Viles, who leads the Oxford Resilient Buildings and Landscapes Lab (OxRBL), shares insights from her extensive experience working with organizations like English Heritage, Historic England, and the Getty Conservation Institute. Discover why UNESCO considers both cultural and natural heritage "irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration" and how integrated conservation approaches can benefit future generations. The talk builds on recent academic and practical work demonstrating the advantages of connecting these often separately treated conservation domains.
